Chapter 46 Mutual Testing
Yan Nian looked around on his phone and found that orders placed through the app would generally be delayed for three hours.
Tonight, apart from the opening, Zhou Ran toasted everyone with a drink instead of wine in a low mood and did not mention his birthday.
It seemed that whether it was his birthday or not was not that important to him. After dinner, everyone chatted about their own things and no one mentioned the birthday cake.
Yan Nian discussed with him: "How big a bowl should we have for twelve people?"
Zhou Ran: "Hmm?"
Yan Nian pondered: "Eighteen inches or how many inches?"
Zhou Ran lowered his eyes to look at her. At this moment, it was really a bit like when he asked her to choose a place to eat.
Because I couldn't make up my mind, I inadvertently exposed my choice syndrome and had to ask him for help.
Yan Nian: "What do you think of twenty inches?"
Zhou Ran estimated that according to her calculation, he would have to buy a seven-layer cake for his 26th birthday, plus a big birthday peach.
Yan Nian asked again, "Do you have any friends coming? How about booking a two-story room?"
Zhou Ran said seriously, "No, it doesn't need to be that big, just enough for two people."
Yan Nian was thinking carefully when he suddenly interrupted her. She was silent for a long time, as if to confirm what he said again: "Two people?"
Zhou Ran: "Yeah."
He was talking about two people.
Suddenly, it was hard to focus on ordering the cake. Yan Nian slid her eyelashes and absentmindedly scrolled through the screen a few times. She pulled the corners of her stiff mouth and asked what was on her mind: "Are you going to spend it with the person you like?"
Zhou Ran looked into the distance and smiled: "I'm not sure yet. If she thinks it is, then it counts."
Yan Nian bit her lower lip.
You can tell he's considering the other person and is extremely gentle.
Yan Nian decided to focus her attention elsewhere and held up her phone in front of him. "Pick one. This is a nearby cake shop. I'll go buy it after you've chosen one. If you place an order at this time, there will be a three-hour delay."
Zhou Ran randomly picked one: "Let's go with this one."
"Okay." Yan Nian nodded and discussed with him: "Then I'll go to the store to buy it now. You can give me a delivery address and I'll have the store deliver it directly to you."
Zhou Ran seemed to find it troublesome and frowned.
Yan Nian thought that he might have other plans tonight and there would be no one to send him there, so she confirmed the time and address with him again: "Is the place where you will be moving later far from here?"
Zhou Ran was not very happy: "No change of scene."
"Are you going straight home?"
"go home."
"Then please send me the detailed address!"
She knew the address, but not the house number.
Zhou Ran asked in an unhappy tone, "Is this how you repay a favor?"
Yan Nian was in a somewhat messy mood right now, so she didn't respond and just looked at him.
Zhou Ran: "Is buying the things enough? Why don't you deliver them to my house personally?"
After hearing what he said, her actions were indeed not sincere enough.
Yan Nian nodded and said, "Okay, just send me the address. When you get back, tell me and I'll send it over."
Zhou Ran sent her the detailed house number and even the door password via WeChat.
“…” Yan Nian looked at him in surprise.
Zhou Ran noticed the question in her eyes and said, "I have something to do later. You can just go and drop it off at my house after you buy it."
Yan Nian didn't ask any more questions: "Okay."
Someone came out from the box, making a lot of noise. It was the voices of Qi Jin and Xue Jiyan.
Xue Jiyan: "Where did Master Zhou hide?"
Qi Jin: "You have no sense at all. Yan Nian is also missing. I guess they are hiding somewhere to rekindle their old love!"
Xue Jiyan: "What's going on with these two? I was even saying I'd introduce a girlfriend to Uncle Zhou."
Qi Jin: "You are blind! It's none of your business. Uncle Zhou is alone and would rather become a monk. He was forced by his family to find a girlfriend and hid out for half a month before coming back."
Xue Jiyan laughed so hard that his throat choked: "Fuck, he told me he was on a business trip."
Qi Jin said leisurely: "You believe that the eyes are on the top of your head. I guess only Yan Nian can get them."
Yan Nian: “…”
Zhou Ran: “…”
The two of them also came to the viewing balcony to smoke, and seeing the two people's faces flickering, they said at the same time: "Oh, damn, they are all here!"
Yan Nian didn't care what the two said and said to the person next to him, "Then I'll leave first."
Zhou Ran nodded: "Yeah."
Yan Nian walked past the two people who were still in awkwardness and entered the box.
Zhao Shutong was twisting Wang Hongyu and saying something.
She went over to say hello. The two of them were arguing fiercely, but they spared a little energy to nod and say hello to her.
Yan Nian took her bag and went out. When she passed the viewing balcony, Qi Jin was laughing and saying nice things to Zhou Ran.
I just said it, so there was no need to say hello again. Yan Nian just pressed the elevator button and went downstairs.
The cake shop Zhou Ran chose was not far away, less than one kilometer away.
Yan Nian decided to walk there.
On the other side, Zhou Ran ignored Qi Jin and Xue Jiyan's dirty jokes.
He returned to the box while the two were still smoking.
The people invited tonight are all old classmates who have become close to me over the years.
He hasn't celebrated his birthday since graduating from college, and he always refused when someone wanted to organize a party for him, claiming he was on a business trip.
Tonight, he was quite surprised.
Zhou Ran walked over to Wang Hongyu and sat down. He said to Zhao Shutong, who was yelling for money from Wang Hongyu, "Let me talk to your brother for a while."
Zhao Shutong nodded and went to wait on the other side obediently.
Wang Hongyu leaned back on the sofa and raised his eyebrows: "What do you want to say?"
Zhou Ran smiled and said, "It's pointless to ask questions when you already know the answer."
"Oh!" Wang Hongyu said frankly, "I asked Zhao Shutong to invite them here. My Xiaoxiao said it was hard to see you like this. If I don't help, I'm afraid you'll flip the table when you remember it on your 80th birthday. So, she asked me to set up a party. If you two have a follow-up, remember to thank us. If not, my brother advises you, it's no big deal. A man should be able to bend and stretch. Just be careful when you fall in love in your next life."
Zhou Ran smiled and tutted, not responding, and changed the subject: "Where is she?"
Wang Hongyu also responded to his question: "I'm busy with work. It's more important than me."
Zhou Ran inadvertently ate a mouthful of dog food and sneered, "Alright, both of you."
Wang Hongyu asked: "What are the arrangements next?"
Zhou Ran stood up and said in a contemptuous tone: "Someone is waiting for me to eat cake, go away, and remember to pay the bill when you leave."
Wang Hongyu smiled and shook his head, put his phone in his pocket and stood up.
After the show, Zhou Ran drove back to his villa in Dongcheng. Only Song Zhiyin and the nanny were at home.
Ever since Mr. and Mrs. Zhou and Zhao moved back from outside, this place has become much more lively.
After Zhou Ran changed his shoes, Song Zhiyin heard the noise and stood up from the sofa. She came over like a child and said, "You're back, my dear."
As soon as Zhou Ran entered the room, he felt that the old lady was in a bad state today, so he asked, "You look so bad, are you feeling unwell?"
Song Zhiyin shook her head: "No, I was out shopping and stood for a long time today, and my feet hurt!"
Song Zhiyin pulled him aside and asked, "How is it?"
Zhou Ran knew what she was asking, so he sat on the sofa and replied, "Sent away."
